Lenny Kravitz hospitalized in Miami

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rock star Lenny Kravitz was
admitted to a Miami hospital on Monday suffering from severe
bronchitis, a spokeswoman for the singer said.

The 43-year-old musician had been suffering from a series
of severe respiratory tract infections in tandem with the flu
since mid-January, and the illness has evolved into bronchitis.

"Due to extreme dehydration and fatigue, doctors were
unable to control it with outpatient treatment and advised the
singer to check into the hospital. He was taken this morning to
the emergency room at Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami for
immediate treatment," the spokeswoman said in a statement.

Details on his condition and expected length of stay were
not immediately available.

His illness forced him to postpone a trip to Europe to
promote his album "It Is Time For a Love Revolution," which was
released last week.

Kravitz, famed for his hippie-influenced lyrics, rose to
fame in the 1990s with such tunes as "Are You Gonna Go My Way"
and the Grammy-winning "Fly Away."
